Not really, because the core architecture performance difference is minimal. Faster video converting and gaming ability will be benefited by a higher end graphics card.

There's really no point of upgrading though, you have a system that won't need to be upgraded for another 5 years.

in everyday use, no.
for media encoding, yes.
gaming, no.
overclocking, yes.

its up to you and if it is worth what you will be paying for it.
